Hi guys!
When logging onto MA or TA or etc. arenas, i gett "Noth resiving updates switching to TCP"
What does this means :confused:
Is it bad conection or that i have a slow internet conection or??(I have ISDN).

This means that you have some kind of firewall or something between you and host that filters UDP packets out. Playing via TCP for me introduces warps big time.

wobbel,
Aces High uses UDP packets which are broadcast only, the only problem with Broadcast type traffic, is it's the first thing the routers on the internet drop when the start to get busy. In AcesHigh this means you will switch to TCP/IP which requires and acknowledgement i.e. you sent a response for every packet you receive.
A lot of thing's can cause you to get the message that you have switched to TCP/IP like sshh said it could be a firewall or your ISP has blocked the ports but the most likely is that the ISP routers are over utilized.

Wobbel I get the same message every time I log on. I get it either on Main or Alt but never both. If I get it on Main then Alt always works fine and vice versa. Not sure why thou. Have you tried the Alt connection?
